Hello dear AGS fans,
imagine, how I worte a lovely story about my childhood and about my beautiful memories I had with Wadjet Eye Games games.
Yeah. This board is not kind to people with disabilities. I wrote about an hour or two on this, wanted to save, but after that, the message was: You can't post ... but I checked "always stay"
Let me introduce myself: I never finished "Monkey Island". When I was a child, I saw Super Mario on the NES and wanted to create a game since than.
I played "Indiana Jones - The Fate of Atlantis" and "Monkey Island 2" at my parents friends', but didn't understand the text, I was not able to read back then.
I fell in love with the graphics. I also loved games, where you not have to kill everybody without knowing them a little bit better before.
Cinematics like in Wing commander or Street Fighter II Turbo for DOS blew me away.
I once programmed a little three screen adventure in Basic on a PS/2 80286 with a monochromatic display. Your character was Bally, an elipsoide with rectangular shues.
I had to draw all graphics with commands like "circle" and "line". The task was, to repair his bike, because the tire was flat. I think you needed some rubber and diving glasses for that.
I played "Atlantis" before. And we had later a 80486 with "Kings Quest 5". I love the art.
I have a Wacom Cintiq Companion, the inputs can be: Touch, Stylus, Keys on the side, Keyboard, Mouse, Gamepad
I play often games on the TV in the living room with the family and for that, we mostly use a game controller like the XBox 360 or XBox One controller.
Via Steam and stream, we could play PC games on the TV or via XBox.
There was once a Kickstarter project, where a new Android console was introduced, the OUYA.
There is still a community in the UK and Germany for that little gaming box. And we love to get new games on it.
I noticed, that it is not the easiest task, to get AGS games to Android and with game controller support, it could be much harder.
I am thinking of the OUYA a an opportunity to publish AGS games for game lovers, who are not interessed in newest graphics on PS4 and XBox, but like to discover new stories and games.
Steam and the Google Play Store are very much over saturated maybe.
I like new ideas, story driven games. I know, not every game can be played with a game controller, some have to be designed around that idea. The same is with touch. (Monkey Island - Remake HD does not work well with Touch on the PC version)
In my mind, controlling a game, don't have to get into the way of the players enjoyment. Menus, Save, Load, Option ... are more outside the game. (in Deponia e.g. you have to change some option to make progress in the game, in other games, you have to save a lot)
So the question is, ...
Would you like the idea, of having some more games on the OUYA? Or in other words ...
The OUYA is compatible with nVidia Shield (TV) and the Nintendo Switch.
OUYA Specs:
Tegra 3 quadcore ARMv7 with OpenGL ES 2.0
1 GB RAM
storage can be expanded
Android 4.1
Video Codec H.264 HQ is supported.
AGS games should run like butter on that. Controller support would be great, the OUYA also supports mouse and keyboard and has a mouse-thingly integrated in the controller
There is a community out there, that would really love to have new games.
